What I have done in the past is first sand the surface with very fine sandpaper (220 to 300 grit) until the surface is shiny and free of rust. Then I use any brand of gun blue paste or liquid on the surface of the jointer. Use a synthetic Scotch-Brite pad between coats and apply two or three coats of gun blue until you have a deep blue or black color. Then wipe the entire surface with a damp cloth until it does not pick up any of the blue. Lubricate the surface with a light coat of WD-40 or some other light machine oil. My tops stay slick and smooth and rust free. My jointer has been in an unheat-ed garage now for 10 years since my last application, and the last time I inspected the surface it was still rust free. All I do now is from time to time hit it with WD-40 and wipe it with a dry cotton cloth. I have treated my jointer twice in the 20 odd years that I have owned it. David M.

Robert Reemsnyder Fayetteville, Tennessee Where Can I Find Catalogs of Limbert Arts & Crafts Furniture? We have enjoyed your magazine and loved the wastebasket you highlighted from the Charles P.
